Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy and associated complications became globally serious arousing health problems. Aim: To evaluate the effect of Antigravity treadmill training on gait performance and functional balance in patients with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy. Design: Single-blinded randomized controlled trial. Setting: Outpatient rehabilitation unit. Population: Sixty-eight eligible participants with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy were randomly allocated to Five groups: group-A (100% weight-bearing; n=14), group-B (70% weight-bearing; n=13), group-C (50% weight-bearing; n=14), group-D (30% weight-bearing; n=13), group-E (control group; n=14). Methods: Participants in study groups A, B, C, and D received moderate intensity (50-70% heart rate reserve) aerobic exercise training program on the antigravity treadmill (AlterG, Inc., Fremont, CA, USA) 3 times/week for 12-weeks. The gait performance (using the dynamic gait index) and the functional balance (using the Berg balance scale) variables were evaluated at 3-time points: baseline (evaluation-1), after 12 training weeks (evaluation-2), and 3 months post-training cessation (evaluation-3).

Primary | The gait performance | The gait performance (evaluated using the dynamic gait index). The dynamic gait index is composed of eight items/ tasks. According to the participant's performance; each item is scored on a 4-points ordinal scale from 0 to 3; with "0" indicating the worst achievement (severe impairment) while "3" represents the best score (normal performance). | 12-weeks | |
Primary | The functional balance | The functional balance (evaluated using the Berg balance scale). the Berg balance scale constitutes 14 functional tasks, with each task score ranging from "0 to 4" where "0" indicates the lowest level of function; while "4" indicates the independent performance of the task. | 12-weeks | |
Secondary | Fasting blood glucose level | Fasting blood glucose level | 12-weeks |
